Now add ginger garlic paste, coriander mint paste and curd to the vessel and cook well. Once the masala is cooked well, you will start getting a lovely aroma and this is the correct time to stir in the dry masalas.

Cook for 5-6 minutes, time to add the crunchy capsicum. Once done, add the rice and 1 1/2 cups of water.

Cover the vessel with a lid and let it cook for 15 minutes or till the rice is done.
